Congratulations to the members of the Tufts Synthetic Biology 2016 iGEM Team for winning bronze in the Fall Jamboree in Boston!


Come support our team on Nov. 5, 2016 at Sound Bites in Somerville!

Sound Bites has generously agreed to share proceeds from its business between 2pm and 9pm on 11/5 to Tufts Synthetic Biology! More information on the Facebook page.
The program was organized through community fundraising site GroupRaise.

Venkatesh apparently gave a talk on engineering a synthetic regulon in yeast… but since there are no pictures confirming it I’m not sure it happened 🙂

Prof. Nair presents a talk on Todd’s project on engineering bacteria as therapeutics to combat wound infections.
